Cuisine: Italian American
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 Rutabega, peeled and quartered
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Place rutabaga in food processor and process until you have a rice like consistency.
  3. Spread the new “rice” onto an ungreased baking sheet in a THIN, even layer and place in the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and scrape off any browned bits into your “crumb collection” bowl. Stir around the remaining crumbs on the baking sheet and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
  5. Repeat the scrape and stir and return to the oven for 2 more 10 minute sessions (for a total of 40 minutes).
  6. At 40 minutes, add salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and dried parsley to the crumbs (to taste) and stir around. Return to the oven for about 5 more minutes. The total cook time is about 45 minutes.
  7. *I add the spices at the end to make it taste like the “Italian style” breadcrumbs I grew up eating, but you could easily omit the spices for plain “bega-crumbs”
